Serissa Cotton Easter (Serissa Japonica)

Light: Serissa Cotton Easter thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially during the cooler hours of the morning or late afternoon.

Temperature and Humidity: This plant prefers a warm environment with moderate humidity. Avoid placing it in areas with cold drafts or near air conditioning vents, as it is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

Soil: Use well-draining soil to ensure the roots don't sit in water, which can lead to root rot. A mix designed for bonsai or a combination of peat, perlite, and sand works well.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During the growing season, it may require more frequent watering.

Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth. Remove dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking its best.

Pests and Diseases: Watch out for common pests such as spider mites and aphids. Keep the leaves clean and dust-free to prevent infestations. If pests are detected, treat the plant with an appropriate insecticide.
